How to Report a Guild
This is the right way to report a guild that won't get you a warning for abusing the report system.

When to NOT Report a Guild

* When a user is harassing you:
If a user is harassing you then you first have to take it to the guild's captain or crew to have them deal with the user. If that doesn't work, OR if it is the captain or crew that is harassing you, then use the report abuse/harassment forum: http://www.gaiaonline.com/gaia/report.php?r=7

* Swearing
Reporting people swearing is not allowed, Gaia has a very liberal view of swearing and reporting people swearing will get you a warning for abusing the report system. if a user is swearing at you (ie calling you a b***h) then you have to take it up with the captain, please see above.

* Banning you for no reason or not banning when requested
As this is the Captain's guild, the captain is allowed to create his own rules (subject that they do not violate the TOS). As such, the captain is able to invite or ban users as he chooses. He is also under obligation to ban users who wish to quit (because there is no leave guild option). If the captain/crew does not ban a member who asks (please wait for his responce at least a full week) then he is subject to receiving a warning. Please either make a post in the captain's guiild if you have access to it, or PM a GGN mod (Kokoryta, Doji Kurohito) with a link to the guild and thread where you have asked to be banned.




When to use the Report a Guild button:

* If the guild violates the TOS
If a guild is allowing people to post porn, cyber or is linking to non PG-13 material, AND the captain/crew has not removed it (within 2 days), then you may report the guild.

* Hate guilds
A hate guild that is directed at Gaian users is not allowed and will be terminated. Yes, this includes users who are known trolls.

* Plagiarized guilds
If a guild has copied another guild in detail (ie copied homepage or stickies) then the copying guild will be removed. Please not that this does not count for general ideas, users who report an Inuyasha guild because there is already another Inuyasha guild will be issued a warning for abusing the report system.

* Guilds which profited from a glitch
If a guild have profited from a glitch, either by getting the guild for free or is a user has donated glitch gold to the Guild Fund then the proffiting guild will most likely be closed by the admins. We are not certain if the captain will recover the guild, but it is safe to assume that they won't.

Mod Conduct:


    1. Go ahead and change posts in stickes (like the one in here) if something needs to be added, just PM me and tell me what you changed. Same goes for adding stickies (although I think I can figure that one out on my own).


GNN FAQ & Rules
Please be aware that if you plan on having a public guild, it is up to the Captain and Crew to deal with spam and any "guild drama". Gaia moderators should only be contacted for TOS violations.

    2. If I''m not around to settle disputes between users, it''s up to you guys to help out. Please do not be bias. Just because the user is your bestest friend in the whole wide world doesn''t mean he/she is right.

    If the drama is between mods or mods/users, either settle it through PMs or bring it to me. My PMs are always on, I''m always signed onto AIM (with a few exceptios), and I''m beginning to get in the habit of being online in yahoo/MSN. Also, if you''re going to message me outside of Gaia, please tell me who you are or I might just ignore you. I''d say you can email me as well, but I don''t check that often.

    3. And of course, help with invites. Since this is a hidden gulid I don't think we'll have to pay much attention to requests... Unless I'm horribly mistaken.

F.A.Q

Why was I invited?
Because you're a cool cat. heart If you want specifics, ask in the invite request thread, and answer ye shall recieve.

Do I have to post?
We'd prefer you if you did, but we're not going to force you to do something you can't / don't want to do. Even if you're not a regular here, you're always welcome to post at any time.

What exactly is the point of this guild?
To chill, hang out, make new friends and mingle with the old ones.

Do we have to have a poll in every thread we make?
Nope, it's a habit for all of us, though. No worries if you don't add a poll, though!

Does "Sugar Coated Wasteland" have a story behind the name?
Ms. Gaurdian Acolyte the creator of the guild should know. I'm sure if you message and ask her nicely, she'll tell you.

What are the basic requirements to join?
Speak english, and be friendly.

What should I do if there if a fight between a few members?
Stay out of it and let a mod lock and move it. Unforantely in the past, we've learned that most of the time when there's a fight between two people, sides are taken, and it's blown up to be more then it really is. If two members want to fight, they're not allowed to do it here, PERIOD.

How do I become a guild moderator?
Contest or personally requested.

Why is SCW so slow?
It's just the way SCW is. We all have lives now, unforantely, so we're busier and don't have time to make new topics every millisecond of the day, sorry.
